Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Will the wireline side of the business be affected?

It seems that mostly wireless is getting hit. So far only rumors of RIFFS and an EISP on the wireline side. If anyone has information....please post.

Wireline had recent cuts about 2 months ago. Lost 5 plus a manager in my group alone.

@1els ever look at the wireless employees? They remind me of a smug teenager so yeah, I agree, go work for crumbcast, they love butchers.

Wireline is hiring so if you'd like to bring your "skills" to the Wireline side of the industry please do so ......but would you kindly take your expertise and knowledge to a competitor of Verizon. We would appreciate you using what brought down the Wireless side of our company to our competitors.

Thank you in advance.

Wireline Union Employee.

Wireline is already pretty thin so probably a small one but nothing huge. The reason wireless is getting slammed is they were very thick and with growth down and competition growing it's time to cut.

Hire new people at a lower pay scale and no pension?

Then dump all the old senior technicians?

Exactly what McDumbass would like to do!!

We just hired 100 people in my department on the wireline side so I doubt it.

Definitely. VZT will see 6 to 10 percent layoff across org. XO gets a pass this time around. Their hatchet comes in July.
